Fiat Tipo - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Tipo 357, 356, 358 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Handle
Operation: How to replace the external door handle on Fiat Tipo

Removing and replacing the external door handle on the Fiat Tipo is a fairly simple operation that does not require the removal of the internal panel or the help of special tools. The first access point will be located on the side of the door where there will be a small plastic cap in correspondence with the handle that will have to be removed. Removing the cap will reveal a hole in the sheet where the fixing pin of the fixed part of the handle (or of the lock if present) will be present. To remove the fixed part of the handle it will be necessary to loosen the pin, being very careful not to remove it completely, a few turns will be enough to ensure that the fixed part of the handle can be easily extracted. Once extracted, only the movable part fixed to the door will remain, the latter will be hooked in and to release it from the internal connections of the door it will be necessary to pull it with a little force towards the seat of the fixed side of the handle. Once the handle has been released, it can be extracted and a new one can be installed. To do this, simply insert the hooks into the holes in the door and push towards the opposite side to the disassembly side. After the handle is hooked, just insert the fixed part of the handle in its seat and fix it by tightening the pin again inside the hole on the side of the door.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
